I just noticed something, I was looking at your speedo pick-ups in the last photo. One of the bases is grey and one is black. We have an '83 as well, and our pick-ups are exactly the same!
One is grey and one is black! I wonder if they came factory that way?? Anyone else find this on their boats?

The originals were grey. I think Airguide changed to black later. You probably have a later model replacement.

TPH, do you have any pictures of your swim platform? It looks to be solid not constructed with “slats”.

It's a "functional" Platform constructed of marine plywood, fiberglass, and carpet. Not as attractive as teak, but great for slipping into skis, boards or whatever and sliding into the water. I still have the stock platform, which is in great shape from the days when MC had boat contests at the annual west coast reunion.

I never noticed your rub rail before I really like that, looks beefy too!
